Published 12:00 am Wednesday, August 21, 2019

PORTSMOUTH — The Ohio State Highway Patrol announced Tuesday that troopers will operate an OVI checkpoint to deter and intercept impaired drivers this week.

The county where the checkpoint will take place will be announced the day prior to the checkpoint, and the location will be announced the morning of the checkpoint.

If you plan to consume alcohol, designate a driver or make other travel arrangements before you drink.  Don’t let another life be lost for the senseless and selfish act of getting behind the wheel impaired.
